“You heard what I said. And if you don’t want to see a lot of dead soldiers, I suggest you move.”
Georgina scowled. For a moment I thought she might refuse.
Then she nodded.
Her men picked up Ash and Kieran and threw them toward Elliot.
Elliot went very still.
“You shouldn’t have done this,” he said quietly.
“I had to,” I said as the guards began to approach me with cuffs in hand.
“No, Seph. You didn’t.”
The guards were only a few steps away when something behind me rumbled.
Suddenly, the buildings behind me exploded.
Chapter 30
Seph
Fighters in black emerged from the flaming ruins, armed with machine guns and wearing masks.
Someone launched themselves at me, shielding me from the gunfire.
I was thrown violently to the ground.
I looked up and met Kieran’s furious hazel eyes.
“Libertarians!” Someone yelled.
Around us, both the Wardens and the Soldiers of Light opened fire on the black-clad newcomers.
Kieran yanked me to my feet and dragged me toward the truck. Dev was already shoving Ash into the back seat.
“Take them! Get her out of here!” Dev yelled.
Elliot and his men were already taking cover and firing back.
Where the hell is Sy?
Georgina’s men shoved her into the back of a car, shielding her from the gunfire.
Sy soared overhead in his full dragon form, his shadow sweeping across the airstrip. He roared down at the chaos below.
Kieran tried to start the truck, but a shot rang out and the engine died.
“Get down!”
The windows exploded in a shower of glass.
I threw myself over Ash. Glass shards sliced across my skin, a thousand tiny cuts all at once.
Kieran tumbled out of the truck and took cover on the far side.
“Get out! We’re going to have to run for it!”
